Length of Section for Discharge over Rectangle Notch or Weir Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Weir = Theoretical Discharge/(2/3*Coefficient of Discharge*sqrt(2*[g])*Arc Length of Circle^(3/2))
L_w = Q_th/(2/3*C_d*sqrt(2*[g])*l_a^(3/2))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Length of Weir - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Weir is the of the base of weir through which discharge is taking place.
Theoretical Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Theoretical Discharge is given by the theoretical area and velocity.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge or efflux coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.
Arc Length of Circle - (Measured in Meter) - Arc Length of Circle is the length of a piece of curve cut from the circumference of the Circle at particular central angle.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Theoretical Discharge: 90 Cubic Meter per Second --> 90 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Arc Length of Circle: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required

What is a notch?

A Notch is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a liquid through a small channel or a tank. It may be defined as an opening in the side of a tank or vessel such as liquid surface in the tank is below the level of opening.

What is the difference between notch and weir?

A notch is generally meant to measure the flow of water from a tank. A weir is also a notch but it is made on a large scale. The weir is a notch cut in a dam to discharge the surplus quantity of water. A notch is usually made of metal plate whereas a weir is made of masonry or concrete.

How to Calculate Length of Section for Discharge over Rectangle Notch or Weir?
